  • Non-Homologous Isofunctional Enzymes: a Systematic Analysis Of
    Omelchenko et al. Biology Direct 2010, 5:31 http://www.biology-direct.com/content/5/1/31 RESEARCH Open Access Non-homologousResearch isofunctional enzymes: A systematic analysis of alternative solutions in enzyme evolution Marina V Omelchenko, Michael Y Galperin*, Yuri I Wolf and Eugene V Koonin Abstract Background: Evolutionarily unrelated proteins that catalyze the same biochemical reactions are often referred to as analogous - as opposed to homologous - enzymes. The existence of numerous alternative, non-homologous enzyme isoforms presents an interesting evolutionary problem; it also complicates genome-based reconstruction of the metabolic pathways in a variety of organisms. In 1998, a systematic search for analogous enzymes resulted in the identification of 105 Enzyme Commission (EC) numbers that included two or more proteins without detectable sequence similarity to each other, including 34 EC nodes where proteins were known (or predicted) to have distinct structural folds, indicating independent evolutionary origins. In the past 12 years, many putative non-homologous isofunctional enzymes were identified in newly sequenced genomes. In addition, efforts in structural genomics resulted in a vastly improved structural coverage of proteomes, providing for definitive assessment of (non)homologous relationships between proteins. Results: We report the results of a comprehensive search for non-homologous isofunctional enzymes (NISE) that yielded 185 EC nodes with two or more experimentally characterized - or predicted - structurally unrelated proteins. Of these NISE sets, only 74 were from the original 1998 list. Structural assignments of the NISE show over-representation of proteins with the TIM barrel fold and the nucleotide-binding Rossmann fold. From the functional perspective, the set of NISE is enriched in hydrolases, particularly carbohydrate hydrolases, and in enzymes involved in defense against oxidative stress.

A nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) cluster is hypothesized to be Bacillamides involved in the biosynthesis of bacillamide C. The NRPS with a domain string of A1-PCP1-Cy-A2-PCP2-C can be Heterologous expression divided into three functional modules. After heterologous expression and purification of module A1-PCP1 and Nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) module Cy-A2-PCP2, their catalytic activities were biochemically proven in vitro by the reaction with the apo- Thiazole PCP domain transformed to the holo-PCP domain through a phosphopantetheinyl transferase, ATP, and substrate amino acids. Five– membered heterocyclic AlaCysthiazole with molecular weight of 172.0389 was detected. This proved the formation of the heterocyclic dipeptide AlaCysthiazole, which is considered to be a building block for the biosynthesis of bacillamide. This study provides a basis for further biosynthesis of bacillamides. 1. Introduction et al., 2017). Even though the biosynthesis of bacillamide C was opti- mized, the yield was very low (Jin et al., 2011; Yu et al., 2015).

Although many correlations have been described, specific mechanistic links between these changes and glucose homeostasis remain to be defined. Here we show that blood and intestinal levels of the microbiota-produced N-formyl peptide, formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLF), are elevated in high fat diet (HFD)- induced obese mice. Genetic or pharmacological inhibition of the N-formyl peptide receptor Fpr1 leads to increased insulin levels and improved glucose tolerance, dependent upon glucagon- like peptide-1 (GLP-1). Obese Fpr1-knockout (Fpr1-KO) mice also display an altered microbiome, exemplifying the dynamic relationship between host metabolism and microbiota.

The initial step of this pathway is a posttranslational modification of a peptide precursor MftA, which is catalyzed by MftC enzyme. This modification only occurs in the presence of chaperone MftB.

  • A Novel Pathway to Produce Butanol and Isobutanol in Saccharomyces
    Branduardi et al. Biotechnology for Biofuels 2013, 6:68 http://www.biotechnologyforbiofuels.com/content/6/1/68 RESEARCH Open Access A novel pathway to produce butanol and isobutanol in Saccharomyces cerevisiae Paola Branduardi1*†, Valeria Longo1†, Nadia Maria Berterame1, Giorgia Rossi2 and Danilo Porro1 Abstract Background: The sustainable production of biofuels remains one of the major issues of the upcoming years. Among the number of most desirable molecules to be produced, butanol and isobutanol deserve a prominent place. They have superior liquid-fuel features in respect to ethanol. Particularly, butanol has similar properties to gasoline and thus it has the potential to be used as a substitute for gasoline in currently running engines. Clostridia are recognized as natural and good butanol producers and are employed in the industrial-scale production of solvents. Due to their complex metabolic characteristics and to the difficulty of performing genetic manipulations, in recent years the Clostridia butanol pathway was expressed in other microorganisms such as Escherichia coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae, but in yeast the obtained results were not so promising. An alternative way for producing fusel alcohol is to exploit the degradation pathway of aminoacids released from protein hydrolysis, where proteins derive from exhausted microbial biomasses at the end of the fermentation processes. Results: It is known that wine yeasts can, at the end of the fermentation process, accumulate fusel alcohols, and butanol is among them. Despite it was quite obvious to correlate said production with aminoacid degradation, a putative native pathway was never proposed. Starting from literature data and combining information about different organisms, here we demonstrate how glycine can be the substrate for butanol and isobutanol production, individuating at least one gene encoding for the necessary activities leading to butanol accumulation.
